Laugh it up, Sandy, the studio technician.

Laugh it up.

Tessa is running late, so Skye sits waiting in the studio by herself.

Nice to meet you, too.

Tessa's stylish, and like Skye, looks younger than her years.

You can still see a trace of the popular girl.

I show her into the studio where Skye's been waiting.

The two haven't seen each other since they were children.

As they settle in, the mood is formal, a little stilted.

Since the room is only about the size of a small elevator, their knees practically touch.
